All You Need To Know About Chief Minister Of A State

The Chief Minister's role in the state is similar to the Prime Minister's post in the federal government. The Chief Minister is chosen by the Governor in accordance with Article 164 of the Constitution. The heads of the parties that garnered the highest support during the assembly elections are chosen to serve as the state's chief minister. While the Chief Minister has actual executive authority, the Governor only has formal executive authority. 

 

•    The chief minister is appointed by the governor and is often the head of the house or the leader of the largest coalition.

 

•    In the absence of a clear majority for any party, the governor may exercise situational judgment. He may designate a leader to serve as chief minister before displaying his majority on the parliament's floor.

 

•    However, if the ruling party nominates someone, the governor is forced to select that person. If the chief minister passes away without a replacement, the governor may choose one at his discretion.

 

•    The CM loses his status as CM if he does not join either house within six months. The CM is chosen by the governor, who can only remove him once he has a majority in the house.
